Passwords are a pain, right? But here's the thing: relying on sticky notes or even password managers isn't always practical.

The safest, most reliable method?

Memorising strong email passwords that you create yourself. No apps, no scraps of paper - just your brain and a few clever tricks.

Why Memorisation Wins for Password Security

• - No third-party risk: Password managers can be hacked, and hard copies can be lost.
• - Always accessible: You don't need your phone or notebook - your memory goes wherever you go.
• - Empowering: You're in control of your password security.

What Makes a Strong Email Password?

• - At least 12 characters.
• - Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• - Avoid obvious stuff like birthdays or “Password123”.
• - Make it unique for each account.

How to Memorise Strong Passwords Easily

Here's the trick: use meaningful passphrases instead of random gibberish. Your brain loves patterns and stories.

1. Create a Passphrase

Pick a sentence you'll never forget: “I love footy on Sundays with mates!” Turn it into: IlovefootyonSundayswithmates!2025

2. Add Australian Slang

Make it fun and unique: FairDinkumCoffee4Brekkie!

3. Use the First Letters Trick

Take a memorable sentence: “My first car was a Holden Commodore in 2005!” Convert it: MfcwaHCi2005!

4. Add a Twist for Each Account

Keep the base phrase, add a tag at the end or at the beginning

• - Email: FairDinkumCoffee4Brekkie!EM
• - Banking: FairDinkumCoffee4Brekkie!BNK
• - Google: FairDinkumCoffee4Brekkie!GOO or
• - Google: GOO@FairDinkumCoffee4Brekkie

Tips to Make It Stick

• - Say it out loud a few times.
• - Visualise it - picture that coffee for brekkie.
• - Use a pattern: phrase + number + symbol.

Why Not Password Managers or Hard Copies?

• - Password managers: Convenient, but if hacked, all your accounts are exposed.
• - Hard copies: Easy to lose or steal. Memorisation avoids these risks entirely.

Quick Security Boost

• - Change passwords every 6–12 months.
• - Turn on two-factor authentication Australia.
• - Keep devices updated.
